#include "..\???"

[Peter P Stephensen]

    #include "..\include\const.inc"

makes it possible to go one dir up.

But what should i do to go 2 dir's up?

Regards
Peter

I didn't try it with #INCLUDE but the usual syntax is...

"..\..\whatever.inc"

That works at a command prompt, anyway.

I just tried it, and it works for me.

I put a file called TEST.BAS in my root dir and did this in my program...

#INCLUDE "..\..\TEST.BAS"

I have my compiler set up to run from C:\PB\WORKING\ so it went up two levels and found the file, no problem.

Works also fine for me on NT4/SP6. Maybe different handling on w9x platforms?

For Win9x, use one additional . for each directory level. I don't
recall about Win95, but I *believe* the limit for Win98 is 4
dots.

Put two dots to go up one directory, like ..\, then add one dot
for each additional directory.

Eric's syntax is correct and will work on all DOS and Windows platforms
(since DOS 2.0, when directories were introduced). Reverse the slashes,
and the same syntax will work on Unix platforms.
